SCHOOL REPORTER feldt, Ruth Brown, plus Betty Schultz and Mary Kriegel performed their comical verses to that old favorite with a background by a girls quartet consisting of Sarah Gass, Nancy Colehin, Suse Parrish and Pat Kintz. The novelty was a cheery surprise and the entire band and choral program was enjoyed thoroughly by all. Congratulations for a successful program! X.-D.CIA-Secretary of State —John Foster Dulles, secretary of Treasury — Humphrey, attorney general — Brownell; secretary of agriculture — Smith, oops that’s wrong. Do you know the president's cabinet members at the present time? That’s just what the seniors are learning now in civics class. The different departments are being broken down, analyzed, and studied. Just ask a senior he’ll tell you. By the way, secretary of agriculture is Benson. -D.C.H.S.— • Students who have attended the S.S.C.A. in Chicago over the past years always aroused interest among the students. But Pat Teepie, who attended last summer, has really been a crusader for the cause this year. It was his idea to raise money to help share the expense for students who wish to attend but who have been unable to. So this year some of the students may have their deams come true. The sodalists are working on a project to help share the expense of some of the students. James Miller, R. R. 6, was the lucky winner of a 15 pounds ham. Nice work sodalists — especially the seniors, for they led the school in this campaign. The ffeshmen are using their talents in sewing these days. They have now finished their aprons and are working on their multicolored skirts. They certainly are working diligently, as most of them would like to finish them by by the end of the school year. —D.C.H.S.— P. S. Not even two weeks left of school! What are you doing these last days? Especially you seniors — as these are your last days to set the example for the lower classmen. So let’s do our best in these so few remaining days. —D.C.H.S.— At approximately 9 o’clock Thursday the servers from the fifth grade up and the boys' choir members went on their annual picnic. Pokagon State Park was again the scene of laughter and good times as they made a day of it, returning at 5 o’clock. Each one enjoyed himself very much and only wished each day could be a day like this one. But it was a little sad. as it will be the senior servers’ — Mike Murphy, Dave Voglewede. Dave Heimann. Tom Ehler, Pat Teeple. and Tony Gillig — last time to attend.. But they must be congratulated on the swell job they have done. —D.C.H.S.— Sting Os Bee Can Be Fatal To Some Some Are Highly Allergic To Sting NEW YORK (UP) -r City people cavorting amid country bees, wasps, and hornets during spring and summer weekends should keep in mind that a sting for some people can be fatal. . Those people are the highly sensitive, allergically speaking, and they know it. Dr. Frank H. Barnard, an allergy expert, said sting-kills-man was 'a rare occurrence, but it can and does happen. Very sensitive people and their doctors, he said, should have an "emergency program” in readiness just in case. These people should have a "kit’’ with them when they go where bees, wasps, and hornets dwell. In this kit should be an ampul of epinephrine, a vial of an injectable antihistamine, a hypodermic syringe and needle, and a tourniquet large enough to go around the thigh. Doctors should instruct these people how to use this equipment—if they get stung—While waiting for the country doctor to arrive. The feared disaster is anaphylactic shock, which is the mightiest of the allergic reactions. It can have a fatal outcome In a matter of minutes. Since of the circulation is a threat, Barnard warned the stung sensitive against “a long run or other excessive physical strain.”

England who does card tricks with gloves on; and Li King Si, a Tibetan, who floats a gold ball in air. Christopher, a fugitive from Baltimore, -will present other illusion acts of his own in addition to the bullet bit. “This business of catching a bullet has a long history behind it.”* explained Christopher. “The first record we have is in 1631 when a fellow named Coulew did it in public. \ “I believe that so far, 12 magicians have died and a number have been wounded in trying to perform it. I know that in 1922 Houdini announced he would try it, but was persuaded not to.” The trick has been presented on Canadian TV before. Back in 1955 an Australian, Jack Carson, pulled it off. NBC will have a doctor on the set when Christopher tries it. 8 11 — 0 I Household Scrapbook I | BY ROBRRTA LIB I 8. ..I" I Razor Blades f Do not let old razor blades lie around the house; they are dangerous. One good way to keep them is to make a slot in a small can, with tight-fitting lid, and drop the discarded blades in this receptacle, which can be kept in the bath cabinet along with the other toilet accessories. The Canary If bothered with canary lice, put a clean white cloth over the top of the bird’s cage at night. By morning the cloth will be covered with these red lice.

Social Security To Disabled Children Totally Disabled Are Now Eligible Persons who become totally disabled before age 18 and who are dependent upon a parent who is entitled to old-age and survivors insurance benefits, should contact their local seurity office in 1957. according to Christian H. W. luecke, manager of the Ft. Wayne socal security office. Under the 1956 amendments to the social security act, many of .these people are eligible for mon- ■ thly social seurity benefits beginning as early as January 1957. Qualifications for these payments are that the person be totally -disabled, have become disabled before reaching age 18, be unmarried, and be dependent on a parent or adopting parent who is entitled to old-age insurance benefit. If the parents or adopting parent died after 1939 and was insured, for social security survivors benefits, payments may now be made to the surviving disabled child. It is not necessary that the disabled child, himself, have a work record under the social seurity law. The mother of a disabled son or daughter may qualify for a mother’s monthly benefit even though she is not yet age 62, if she has the disabled individual in her care. Where a totally disabled child

is still under age 18 but is receiving monthly payments because a parent was insured under social security, the child’s monthly payments will continue as long as he is totally disabled. Before the new amendements were passed, this childs benefits would have stopped when he reached age 18. Under the new amendments, the payments to this child may continue for the remainder of his life. ♦ I Modern Etiquette I | BY ROBIRTA LIB I 8 ' Q. .When a catering service cannot be afforded for a wedding reception, is it proper to ask friends of the bride to help out?
